Our sister organisation the @fsf has published its evaluation of the #Llama 3.1 Community
License Agreement.
This is not a #FreeSoftware (#OpenSource) license.

@kirschner I don't think that we must confuse #FreeSoftware with #OpenSource [1]
We all agree with @fsf about Llama not being free, but we must wait for a statement from @osi to claim that it is not OpenSource...

@nparafe @fsf @osi https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/comparison.en.html about the terms. About OSI: https://opensource.org/blog/metas-llama-2-license-is-not-open-source

@kirschner @nparafe We have to remember that even if OSI classifies something as "Open Source"; it does not mean that it is "Free Software". There are licenses that's the OSI has classified as "OSI", but are clearly non-free software licenses. The @fsfe makes the matter worse, by stating that "Free Software (sometimes called Open Source)"; that is false.

@kirschner If institutions like @fsfe are unclear about the term, how we expect people to understand the difference?
The issue is not the 2% engaging in this discussion. The problem is to not distinguish our movement from the 1%[i].
CEO's, like Musk[ii] and Zuckerberg[iii] have took over the term, because they took advantage of the ambiguity of the term #opensource
We need to clearly differentiate from big tech and retaliate with #freesoftware !

@nparafe @kirschner Worse I think is that the @fsfe uses a different and incompatible meaning for “Open Source” than what OSI uses. @lxo @fsf @osi
Matthias Kirschner
@lxo @amszmidt @nparafe @fsfe @fsf @osi I understand your point. But over the last two decades I have meet so many people who strongly believe in what you described for Free Software, while they called it Open Source. That was different in "the old days". So while I, and the @fsfe call what we are fighting for Free Software, or we talk about software freedom, others out there had the same believes, fought for the same topics, but called it Open Source.

@lxo @amszmidt @nparafe @fsfe @fsf @osi For me they are part of our movement for software freedom, when they share our values and by their actions, while they might still use other terms than I do.
